Whether you're an ex-patient or a relative, being able to talk about what you've been through with people who understand, because they've been through it too, can really help. That's not just our opinion, it's what the people who've come to our drop-in events have told us.

If you feel ready to talk, listen and share your experiences, we'd like to meet you.

Local group pages

We have a growing number of support groups around the country holding regular meetings for patients and relatives to meet with others who really understand what they've been through.

Could you set up a support group?

If you work in critical care and would like to know more about setting up a support group in your area, view the Nursing in Critical Care article by ICUsteps trustees Mo Peskett and Peter Gibb on Developing and setting up a patient and relatives intensive care support group. We're keen to see more support groups form and want to help, so please contact us.
